Componere (latin, English: compose) targets production environments and provides an API for composition of classes, monkey patching, and casting.
Composition:
Componere\Definition is used to define (or redefine) a class at runtime; The class can then be registered, and in the case of redefinition it replaces the original class for as long as the Componere\Definition exists.
public Componere\Definition::__construct
( string $name
)
public Componere\Definition::__construct
( string $name
, string $parent
)
public Componere\Definition::__construct
( string $name
, array $interfaces
)
public Componere\Definition::__construct
( string $name
, string $parent
, array $interfaces
)
Patching:
Componere\Patch is used to change the class of a specific instance of an object at runtime; Upon application the patch will remain applied for as long as the Componere\Patch exists, and can be reverted explicitly.
public Componere\Patch::__construct
( object $instance
)
public Componere\Patch::__construct
( object $instance
, array $interfaces
)
Casting:
Componere\ casting functions can cast among user defined compatible types;
Where compatible means Type is sub or super to the type of object.
Componere\cast
( Type $type
, $object
) : Type
Componere\cast_by_ref
( Type $type
, $object
) : Type
